Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.2.2.4.4.4.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Matching Instances: 31 Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, enter in, And in our hearts Thy work begin, Thy temple deign to make us. Sun of the soul, Thou Light divine, Around and in us brightly shine, To joy and gladness wake us. That we To Thee Truly living, To Thee giving Prayer unceasing, Still may be in love increasing. 2 Give to Thy Word impressive pow'r That in our hearts from this good hour As fire it may be glowing, That we confess the Father, Son, And Thee, the Spirit, Three in One, Thy glory ever showing. O stay And sway Our souls ever, That they never May forsake Thee, But by faith their refuge make Thee. 3 Thou fountain whence all wisdom flows, Which God on pious hearts bestows, Grant us Thy consolation. That in our pure faith's unity We faithful witnesses may be, Of grace that brings salvation. Hear us, Cheer us By Thy teaching; Let our preaching And our labor Praise Thee, Lord, and bless our neighbor. 4 Left to ourselves we shall but stray; O lead us on the narrow way, With wisest counsel guide us; And give us steadfastness that we May ever faithful prove to Thee, Whatever woes betide us. Lord, now Heal Thou All hearts broken; And betoken Thou art near us, Whom we trust to light and cheer us. 5 Thy heav'nly strength sustain our heart, That we may act the valiant part With Thee as our reliance. Be Thou our refuge and our shield, That we may never quit the field, Bidding all foes defiance. Descend, Defend From all errors And earth's terrors: Thy salvation Be our constant consolation. 6 O mighty Rock, O Source of Life, Let Thy dear Word, 'mid doubt and strife, Be so within us burning That we be faithful unto death, In Thy pure love and holy faith, From Thee true wisdom learning. Thy grace And peace On us shower; By Thy power Christ confessing, Let us win our Savior's blessing. 7 O gentle Dew, from heav'n now fall With pow'r upon the hearts of all, Thy tender love instilling. That heart to heart more closely bound, Fruitful in kindly deeds be found, The law of love fulfilling. Then, Lord, Discord Shall not grieve Thee; We receive Thee; Where Thou livest Peace, and love, and joy Thou givest. 8 Grant that our days, while life shall last, In purest holiness be passed, Be Thou our strength forever. Grant that our hearts henceforth be free From sinful lust and vanity, Which us from Thee must sever. Keep Thou Pure now From offences Heart and senses. Blessed Spirit! Let us heav'nly life inherit.

All Hail To Thee, O Blessed Morn

Author: E. W. Olson; Johan Olaf Wallin Meter: Irregular Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 10 First Line: All hail to thee, O blessed morn! Lyrics: 1 All hail to thee, O blessed morn! To tidings by the prophets borne Hast Thou fulfillment given. O sacred and immortal day, When unto earth, in glorious ray, Descends the grace of heaven, Singing, Ringing, Sounds are blending, Praises sending Unto heaven For the Savior to us given. 2 ’Tis God’s own Image and, withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a brother. He comes, with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide And help as could no other; Rather Gather, Closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, Feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. 3 He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share and be our aid Through His eternal power; The Lord’s good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy’s shower; Dying, Buying, Through His passion Our salvation, And to mortals Opening the heav'nly portals. 4 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory heav'n is rent, To close upon us never; Our blessed Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, Nigher Glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And His Son, our Lord and Brother.
